JOSTEN'S GOLD RING TrSALE -. Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 17, 1985 Women's crew sails to victory By HOWARD SOLOMON The women's crew club faced rough sailing this weekend, when it traveled to Kulver, Ind. for the Big Ten women's championships. "The weather was really bad," said club secretary Beth Ingram, "so all ex- cept two races were cancelled. Because of the weather there was no team championship, only individual plaques." Despite the inclement weather, the Wolverines managed to capture first place in the women's open four. Team members included Lisa Philipsborn, Jaan Klinger, Kammy Kelly, Betsy Leahy and Vicki Kornot. The novice team was not as successful, placing fourth out of five teams. "We didn't do too bad," said Ingram, "considering eight of the ten Big Ten schools were there, and we are not con- sidered as strong a team as Wisconsin and Minnesota." The lady rowers next race is Satur- day at Gallup Park against Purdue and Ohio State. This is the last race before the Midwest Rowing Championships in Madison, Wisconsin - one of the most important regattas of the season.

The games are set to begin at 3:00 at the Varsity Diamond, and are both "must wins" for the Wolverines if they are to remain in first place in the Big Ten throughout their nine-day break. THEY PRESENTLY lead Indiana by percentage points following their weekend split with the Hoosiers. Michigan, 13-11 overall, has a 5-3 con- ference mark, Indiana stands at 6-4 and defending champion Northwestern lurks ominously behind with a 4-4 record. Michigan State comes to Ann Arbor with a 6-13 record, but has not played any Big Ten games this year. If the Spartans upset the Wolverines twice today, they would own first place. Wolverine coach Carol Hutchins will send her two aces, Vickie Morrow and s still clinging to first Michelle Bolster, to the mound today to to take advantage of this opportunity to try for the sweep. Morrow is 7-2 with a increase our lead." 0.90 ERA and Bolster is 4-5 with an ERA Head Coach Gloria Becksford's team of 1.45. has played eight games ' since last HUTCHINS IS making sure her team Friday, so the pitching staff's stamina does not take the Spartans, a club that could come into play. Becksford's pit- lost five of six last weekend lightly. "I cher is Diane Gentry (4-5, 1.55 ERA). don't think Northwestern is going to Jodi McDonald (1-4, 3.29) and Diane lose too many more games, so we have Kennett (1-4, 3.41) should also see ac- tion. CONCERNED WITH the number of strikeouts Indiana pitchers registered against her squad, Hutchins is planning a conservative strategy for today's con- % tests. "State doesn't have any over- powering pitchers, so we should be able to make good contact with the ball. We'll just go for a couple of runs at a time. If we put together two solid / games, we won't have to take chances to win." And if the team does play solidly enough to sweep, Hutchins and her squad will be able to enjoy nine days in the Big Ten penthouse no matter what Bolster miracles the Hoosiers or the Wildcats ...1.45 ERA can perform. 51YEARS MORE THAN A BOOKSTORE 549 E. University Ann Arbor, MI (at the corner of East U. and 0 0 (313)662-3201 South U.) { - Good friends keep you going when ali you want to do is stop. strong first-place finish this past weekend at Notre Dame. The men's varsity eight fell behind by. one seat to OSU in the very early stages of the race, but pulled through with 400 meters gone to sin by one length in the 2000 meter race. OSU rowed to a second place finish, followed by Northwestern, Notre Dame and the University of Chicago.

MILLER With less than a month to play before the Big Ten Championships, the men's golf team is hoping two golfers will emerge to round out the team's starting six. Last weekend at the Marshall In- vitational, the Wolverines finished seventh in a fifteen-team field. Coach Jim Carras was pleased with his team's performance but felt its biggest problem is depth. "I was happy with the way we played. We were only three@ shots out of third place and only seven shots out of second," said Carras. "The tournament was so close that if we had parred the last hole on the final day, we could have taken sole possession of third place. "OUR BIG PROBLEM heading toward the Big Tens is the play of our last golfers. For the remainder of the season we will play six golfers and the highest five scores will count. We need two top reserves to come through for us because we can't always rely on our to" four to play well." The top four golfers led by team co- captain Dan Roberts turned in solid ef- forts at Marshall. Roberts was the run- ner-up medalist with rounds of 73, 71 and 73 to Ohio State's Clark Burroughs who took the individual title by five strokes. "Roberts played the way I had hoped he would. He is a strong college player," said Carras. "He had a slo start this spring because he has not had much of a chance to play because of the weather. He is now starting to score the way he is capable of." SCOTT CHIPOKAS shot 79, 74 and 74 for a total of 227 to record Michigan's second best score. "Scott had only nine bad holes the entire tournament," said Carras. "He showed lots of maturity for a first-year player, and I was very pleased with his performance." Peter Savarino's total of 228 was good for third on the team. Carras felo Savarino played reasonably well with the exception of his 79 in the second round of play, and thinks he has the ability to improve. "Peter is capable of shooting 75 or better every time out," said Carras. Chris Westfall rounded out the Wolverines top four with a score of 231. "Chris is another player capable of shooting 75 or better when he is playing well," said Carras. The Wolverines' next match will be this weekend at DeKalb, Illinois to compete in the Mid-American Con- ference Tournament.
